Hello, I wouldnt recommend anybody else engage in my sort of bitching, if I could help myself then I would.
The contest is one thing, its the attempts to pretend its all about promoting internet video in general, rather than network2, that makes me open my stinky negative gob. I do thank you for responding appropriately to the previous content concerns, believe me I wont still be ranting about that in 6 months time. Why would I enter the contest when it means I have to mention network2, when in reality I wouldnt dream of pointing any potential net tv viewer to that site? If it grows into something that is a truly valuable resource for viewers then I will change my position in the future, but right now Id be failing my own honesty ttest if I told people that was the place to check out whats occuring with video on the net.
